Shiver Me Timbers If there's one thing I've always wanted to do, it's go through an entire day talking like a pirate.  From dawn till dusk, I want to greet folks with a hearty "Ahoy, matey!" and answer all questions that need a positive reply with a gutteral "Aye."  Don't need a parrot on my shoulder.  No patch over my eye.  I just need to be able to speak the way I feel I was meant to talk. For example, this is my dream way to start my day at school: "Good morning, Mr. Mauldin." "Ahoy, matey!" "Do we have a test today?" "Aye!" Fortunately today my dream can be realized.  For those out of the know, today is International Talk Like A Pirate Day.  That's right, you scurvy dogs.  All day you have free license to fly your Jolly Roger high and proud. So get out there with a pocket full of pieces of eight, find you a hearty wench (or scallywag, if you be a female piratess), and show them landlubbers that you ain't no son of a biscuit eater. I just wish today were Monday. Related links: Pirate Glossary:  spruce up your lingo here, you salty sea dog Cannon Blast:  send them to Davy Jones' locker!
